We live in an adrenalin-seeking impatient world, where sports fans are always on the lookout for their next fix.
It is hard to name a sport that is exactly the
same now as it was 10 years ago.
Cricket, that most traditional and dearly held pastime, has not escaped this evolution - in fact it is arguably one of the most affected by today's unquenchable thirst for thrills.
Witness the advent and continued rise of Twenty20.
As a player, I have experienced by far the most extreme adrenalin rushes (sky-diving and bungee jumping apart) when playing Twenty20.
As a green youngster, playing in Twenty20 finals day in front of a packed crowd at Trent Bridge, I took perhaps the best catch of my life in the semi-final against Surrey, then went on to hit the last ball of the final baseball-style for six.
